Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

The bead he was talking about was one of their life-saving treasures within the Demonic Cult… This bead can enhance their abilities to be protected by a pure and unsullied Aether that would last for a while.

During this time, they can use this huge amount of pure Aether at their own discretion.

Apparently, after their initial confrontation with the Celestials, Altair realized that he had actually underestimated the Celestial Beings this time.

He didn't expect that he would encounter a high-ranking Celestial!

If he would make a guess, he believes that they are certainly ranked under 100!

If they were only Unnumbered Celestials or perhaps, those at the lower end of the ranking, he was confident that their suppression was more than enough to stop them for about five minutes. At that time, the other members of the squad should've killed their contractors already…

So even if the five minutes were over, they will just convince the Celestial Beings to join their side since their contractors would be dead by then.

This was their plan and this is what they've been doing over the past years.

The Demonic Cult has already gathered many Unnumbered Celestial Beings and they were only waiting for their deity to give them the command to conquer the world.

However, they didn't stop collecting Celestial Beings to strengthen themselves.

Unfortunately, they seem to have encountered troublesome opponents this time. They have to take them seriously. They can't hold back dealing with these Celestials at all!

Crack! Crack!

A series of cracking noises were heard as their treasure beads crashed and emitted a suffocating amount of Aether.

Even Agatha felt nervous as soon as she saw this…

Aside from Luna, all the other Celestial Beings don't have Celestial Armor after all. Although they have incredible robes and armor provided by Vincent, Aether can't be underestimated at all.

Three more Dragon Claws suddenly appeared as Professor Levent pushed the formation's limit.

She knows that the sudden move made by the cult members would be very dangerous for them if they didn't act now…

She also reminded the other Grand Magus to make their move.

"Use your Tier 5 now before it's too late!"

As the controller of the Excellent River Dragon Formation Art, she was able to feel the drastic change in the surrounding mana.

She was able to clearly tell how dangerous their situation was… Even though it seems that Altair and others were using the abundant Aether to defend themselves, she can tell that they were able to control it freely as well!

Hearing Levent's warning, Brycen and the others no longer hesitated and used their Tier 5 Mana Arts…

Their bodies suddenly emitted a terrifying force of mana…

Just the surrounding Mana Fluctuations coming from the four Grand Magus were enough to detect numerous Magic Beasts that were observing the battle.

Everyone's Tier 5 Mana Art would normally be related to their Tier 4 Mana Arts…

Grand Magus Thyrus' Tier 4 Mana Art was his Shredding Palms. It would normally allow him to shred anything that his palm touches especially if it is Mana Arts or Aura Techniques… As for his Tier 5 Mana Art, it was called Great Destroyer Body.

As soon as he used this Tier 5 Mana Art, he would be able to push his limit, and instead of only casting four Mana Arts at the same time, he would be able to cast six Mana Arts at the same time!

Furthermore, his body would be engulfed with a fiery energy that could destroy any Mana Arts or Aura Techniques that would come to him just like the effect of Shredding Palms

As for destroying Bloodlust and Aether, he hasn't tried it yet and he would know it now.

He was the first one to test the waters and disrupted the Cult members' plan to suppress the Celestial Beings…

Currently, they were able to tell that only Luna was able to somehow fight against them because she was now wearing her Celestial Armor. As for the others, they were having a hard time because of the Aether…

"We will bring the Celestials Beings away… Focus on dealing with the cultists!" Millie suddenly said as she realized that the Celestials were having trouble.

It was as if they met their nemesis.

Ceri and the other Grand Knights heard her plan and immediately acted on it…

"Good! Please take care of them!"

Levent immediately said as she had the same thought. She wanted to bring away the Celestials for the time being while the Grand Magus disrupts the cultists with their Tier 5 Mana Arts.

A huge battle soon broke out as Thyrus arrived in the midst of the Cultists…

His bravery astounded even Altair… He didn't expect that a magician would actually dare to stand in their midst!

"You dare to look down on us?!" Altair shouted in anger.

After all, even if the Aether specializes in suppressing Celestial Energy, it can still affect the Mana Practitioners!

Thyrus, on the other hand, just ignored him as he cast six Ice Spears at the same time.

The reason why decided to get near was simple, he realized that his Mana Arts would be affected by the surrounding Aether and will not work if the enemies are 8 meters away from him.

He needs to get near and kill them at a closer range…

Previously, he was confident of casting his skill up to 80 meters but unfortunately, he had to acknowledge that the Aether is disrupting his ability even after activating his Tier 5 Mana Arts.

At the very least, he knows that he has the support of the other Grand Magus so he doesn't have to worry that all 36 cultists would focus on him.

Iori had actually summoned three Rock Golems using his Tier 5 Mana Art!

With the appearance of the Golems, the Cultists had no other choice but to abandon their previous plans.

"Fourth Squad! Sacrifice! Death to our enemy!"

Altair declared as the fourth squad of the Demonic Cult who had blocked the Grand Knights pounced on them. At the same time, they triggered an explosion that came from their bodies!

This suicidal attack caught the Grand Knights off guard!
